00:00Best Bicycle Brake Cables Under $7
00:03Every bike I've owned has needed new cables sooner or later, the squeaking, the mushy lever,
00:08that bit of rust creeping out of the hood. I sorted through a pile of listings under $7
00:13so you don't have to. This is my list of the best bicycle brake cables under $7,
00:18and honestly, a couple of them surprised me. First up, this Jaguar LOXSL and CGXSL set.
00:26You've got 4mm shift and 5mm brake housing, and both come pre-lubricated,
00:31which sounds like marketing fluff until you feel how slick they pull.
00:35This isn't just housing either, you get cables, end caps, and ferrules in the box,
00:40so there's nothing else to hunt down at the bike shop. $6.39 for a full rebuild kit is the
00:45deal.
00:46This aka group set is the one people keep telling me about.
00:50Brake and shift cables, housing, all bundled, and it's a genuine one-size-fits-mose set for
00:55MTB or road, trim the housing to lengthen your ready. The cables run smooth, the ferrules actually
01:01seat without fighting you, and it's 6.09 it's tight for the highest rating of the whole bunch.
01:06Next is this no-name brake cable housing set for MTB bikes.
01:11Front and rear brake lines, cable, housing, a complete setup if you want to do both sides at once.
01:17The cables come pre-cut, the housing flexes without kinking,
01:20and at $5.01 it's the cheapest full set in this video.
01:24No big brand name on the box, but the parts don't feel cheap.
01:29Then there's this stainless steel inner cable, 2,000mm, 2m to work with,
01:34zinc coated on the inside to cut friction down inside the housing.
01:37This is the pick for you if your housing is still good and you just need fresh cable to
01:41kill that gritty feeling in the lever. Also the cheapest item here, at $4.37.
